GSO 12" F/5 305mm / 1500mm Dobsonion

Suffering from aperture fever? This is your affordable option.

Selling my beloved GSO 12" - 305mm F/5 - 1500mm Dobsonion:
  • Has a solid, self-made mount made from marine plywood to withstand the elements.
  • Better knobs on secondary mirror for easier collimation.
  • Upgraded main mirror springs for longer lasting collimation.
  • The telescope is about 8 years old. There are some cosmetic marks and some paint came off.
  • The main mirror has a few small marks which don't affect the views IMHO.
  • The secondary mirror has some degradation at the edges which also don't affect the views IMHO.
  • There is no cooling fan at the back any more, but it comes with the original battery pack and plug.
Accessories included:
  • GSO 2" Crayford Focuser
  • GSO 50mm upright Finderscope and shoe
  • GSO 15mm Super Plössl, 1.25"
  • GSO 25mm Super Plössl, 1.25"
  • Main tube lid
  • Fan battery pack and connector plug
Note: The two 2" eyepieces shown in the pictures are not included.

Pickup only in 2489 Pottsville NSW, inspections welcome. (I will not consider postage due to the size and weight of the item.)

Price $440 ONO.

Also see my other telescope, mount, eyepieces and accessories sale.
